Motto with a caveat

"Be Prepared" is a great motto, but in the long run, if it causes you to be paranoid with worry, you'll have wasted the joys of life. How about, "Be prepared, then forget about it!"

Charity's place

We do need to help others. But where does it say that in the Constitution? It doesn't. It is not government's job. That is a religious teaching. Where are the liberals and progressives now? Why aren't they calling for separation in this issue?

Guns

Our government is supposed to be for the people and by the people. Any move to disarm sane, law-abiding Americans will be contested in court and legislated out. The paranoid people who are afraid of registering their guns might fall into the "unstable" category and maybe should be relieved of those weapons. I have no fear of anyone taking my registered 38 handgun or my rifles.
